===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Racing in the Wind (Sailing) is an arcade game, strategy game,
educational game and simulation all rolled into one.
RITWs has 2 modes - arcade and racing. Arcade mode, you maximize your
score by playing as many levels as possible. You gain points
by picking up different types of flotsam while avoiding dangers such
as various types of mines, hitting a buoy, going outside the course
limits, taking too long to get round the course and setting your
spinnaker when not running downwind. All these result in the loss of a
boat, and a restart at the next level. Run out of boats, and
the game is over. You can earn an extra boat, up to a maximum of 6,
every time you clock up another 100000 points. Points are also added
at the end of each race for speed. So picking up the same amount of
flotsam in a quicker time will gain you more points.
The registered version of RITWs has 70 levels in all.
In racing mode, the aim is simply to get around the course in the
shortest possible time. The 3 best times are kept for each of 70
courses. The courses correspond to the levels in arcade mode, but
there is no flotsam or mines.
RITWs can be played at 3 levels of difficulty. With 'easy', has just a
boom to control, besides setting the boat's course. The wind maintains
a steady direction and strength. 'Medium' adds a jib sail control and
random wind direction shifts. Finally, 'hard' adds a spinnaker control
and random gusts to the wind strength.
